"Do you doubt Barton?" Shen Xun couldn't help asking Cheng Li on the car to the inn.
"I didn't say that." He glanced at her lightly.
"Playing with mystery." Shen Xun replied angrily, unscrewed the bottle cap and raised his head to drink water.
"You just think I'm taking you on a date." He looked forward and said lightly.
Shen Xun choked on the water and coughed several times.
"Steady, kid." There was a smile in his voice.
"Is Dui Cheng flirting with me?" She countered.
"Do you still need teasing?"
The implication is that if you don't flirt, you will already come to the door and make trouble.
Shen Xun was so blocked by him that he couldn't speak, so he simply turned his head to look at the scenery.
"Have you figured out how to tell Barton?" He asked again. In the quiet carriage, his voice was like a cello, deep and sweet.
"I said that I will leave soon, and I may be stationed abroad next time. I don't know when I will see you next time, so I will meet him again." She hesitated again, "Will they believe it?"
The corner of Cheng Li's mouth curled slightly: "It doesn't matter whether they believe it or not, you just need to find a superficial reason."
"How are you going to introduce me?" he asked again.
"My boyfriend," she turned her head to look at his profile, "Also, the captain of the anti-drug brigade."
"Well, if they really have a problem, they may not know my real identity, and it doesn't matter to be honest." He paused, "As for the boyfriendit's fine."
"What can?" Shen Xun's eyes lit up, and he looked straight at him.
"It can beit can be." He replied lightly, without squinting.
Shen Xun stared at him for a few seconds, then continued to look at the scenery. Tch, it's really boring, and I don't want to say a word more.
When Barton saw her, he naturally greeted her with a warm hug. When kissing Shen Xun's cheek, he saw a tall man beside him slowly taking off his sunglasses and staring at them with resolute and deep eyes.
"Sara, who is this?" He smiled playfully.
"morpheus, my boyfriend," she replied.
"Very interesting name." Barton raised his eyebrows in surprise, and stretched out his hand, "Hello."
"Nice to meet you." Cheng Li shook hands with him.
Yuer opened the gauze curtain and came out of the back kitchen, with a soft smile in her light brown eyes: "Hi, Sara, we meet again."
She looked at Cheng Li, and then at her: "Yes, he is more handsome than Button, and he has improved."
Shen Xun couldn't help laughing: "Be careful he is proud."
The four of them had dinner together, chatting while eating. Barton opened a bottle of wine and waved it in front of them: "How about retsina (rosin wine) paired with morpheus also from Greece?"
Shen Xun cast a malicious look at Cheng Li: "Okay, let me try the thousand-year taste."
Cheng Li clinked glasses with Button and smiled gently: "She thinks I'm old."
"Sara just said that your job is anti-drug?" Barton asked him.
Cheng Li nodded.
"Very dangerous job," Yu Er took a sip of his wine and looked at him, "Why did you choose this in the first place?"
"It's not that I made up my mind when I was young, but I seem to have reached this point without knowing it." Cheng Li looked at her, "Life is about following the trend and doing your best."
"Follow the trend?" Yuer smiled lightly, "You don't look like such a resigned person."
"How can you say that you don't accept your fate?" Cheng Li raised his eyes suddenly, the corners of his lips curled up, a half-smile, and his profile was perfect under the shadow of the lamp.
Shen Xun inadvertently looked back, caught his expression at this moment, and his heart skipped a beat.
Really going crazy, she almost wanted to slam the table, traveling all these years, what handsome guy hasn't seen? How did you meet him, still acting like you have never seen the world? It's so embarrassing.
Instead of answering his question, Yu raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Xun: "Your boyfriend is very interesting."
Shen Xun couldn't help laughing, what should I do? I feel like I got the first place in the exam when I was a child, and I am very proud.
"How long have you been running this inn?" Cheng Li ignored the little nymphomaniac beside him and asked Button.
"More than four years."
"Business looks good."
"So-so."
"Like it here?"
"That's right."
"because of her?"
Barton glanced at Yuer and nodded.
"Yu is a mixed blood?"
"Yes, Chinese and Burmese mixed race, mother is Chinese."
"Hello, hello." Shen Xun said.sp; "Third Uncle." She called softly, raising her hand to caress his brows and eyes, her tone was extremely gentle, "Are you in love with me?"
"You think so?" He didn't comment, always advancing and retreating.
"I would rather be hurt by the truth than be deceived by lies." She replied.
He looked at her, his eyes getting colder: "I like you, but I have never loved you. Not from beginning to end."
Shen Xun looked at him silently, and slowly withdrew his hand.
"I see." She backed away quietly, "I respect your choice."
Her calmness made him frown slightly: "Treasure hunting?"
"Don't call me Treasure Hunting again." She looked at him with a cold expression, "This name will only be called by my husband from now on."
¡ª¡ªWhy waste time on me?
¡ª¡ªShen Xun, I have no heart, I can't give you what you want.
¡ª¡ªI'm not sure whether I will exist in your future.
From beginning to end, the answers he gave were clear. She has seen him struggle and indulge, and she naturally knows that he will make his own choice in the end. She should thank him, no matter what, as the first real man in her life, he gave her an unforgettable love.
He has his knots and his past. Saying what you feel is a lie. Who can really understand the road he has traveled and the suffering he has suffered? Others' perceptions are self-righteous, but if it were themselves, they might not be able to survive. She is no exception.
So she won't force him anymore, but she doesn't want to just give up.
?Life is just one trip, study, work, marry, and have children. She wants to be willful this time, and gamble this time, no matter whether she wins or loses.
Just because I met him.
Just because it's in this place, in the rush of a certain room. She is willing to wait all her life, or¡ª¡ªto forget. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
